Hi Rob, the marker for this has been placed on fairly recently reclaimed land for the science park so its probably more accurate to place it next to/near the rail track as this demarcates where the old coastline was. 

Cheers, Phil

The 1952 map is also a good tool to get an idea of the old coastline:

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the comment. I have adjusted the position as best I can considering all the reclamation. It would have been at the edge of a small bump on the original coastline.
